Answer 1

I had the same issue two weeks ago with two computers running on Archlinux with curl 7.24.

Curl use SSL version 3 by default but it looks like on my computers the curl to https://graph.facebook.com ended up in a timeout whereas it worked when I specifically asked curl to use SSL version 3. So here how I solved the issue :

In the Facebook PHP SDK, in base_facebook.php, replace :

public static $CURL_OPTS = array(
  CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 10,
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 60,
  CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'facebook-php-3.1',
);

By :

public static $CURL_OPTS = array(
  CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 10,
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 60,
  CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'facebook-php-3.1',
  CURLOPT_SSLVERSION => 3,
);
